Yeah, I realised that. I ended up doing ... + unsigned int i, max_pages, nr_pages = 0; ... + max_pages = min(fc->max_pages, fc->max_read / PAGE_SIZE); > > + ia = fuse_io_alloc(NULL, nr_pages); > > + if (!ia) > > return; > > + ap = &ia->ap; > > + __readahead_batch(rac, ap->pages, nr_pages); > > nr_pages = __readahead_batch(...)? That's the other bug ... this was designed for btrfs which has a fixed-size buffer. But you want to dynamically allocate fuse_io_args(), so we need to figure out the number of pages beforehand, which is a little awkward. I've settled on this for the moment: for (;;) { struct fuse_io_args *ia; struct fuse_args_pages *ap; nr_pages = readahead_count(rac) - nr_pages; if (nr_pages > max_pages) nr_pages = max_pages; if (nr_pages == 0) break; ia = fuse_io_alloc(NULL, nr_pages); if (!ia) return; ap = &ia->ap; __readahead_batch(rac, ap->pages, nr_pages); for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) { fuse_wait_on_page_writeback(inode, readahead_index(rac) + i); ap->descs[i].length = PAGE_SIZE; } ap->num_pages = nr_pages; fuse_send_readpages(ia, rac->file); } but I'm not entirely happy with that either. Pondering better options. > This will give consecutive pages, right? readpages() was already being called with consecutive pages. Several filesystems had code to cope with the pages being non-consecutive, but that wasn't how the core code worked; if there was a discontiguity it would send off the pages that were consecutive and start a new batch. __readahead_batch() can't return fewer than nr_pages, so you don't need to check for that.
